Así Es Normal
German
The Unspoken Tension of Forbidden Desires
German's song 'Así Es Normal' delves into the complexities of a clandestine relationship, where the thrill of the forbidden and the weight of unspoken emotions create a palpable tension. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals meeting in the early hours of the morning, their interactions charged with a mix of anticipation and resignation. The line '2AM y ya se puede sentir como cambia su piel' suggests a transformation that occurs under the cover of night, shedding their daytime personas for something more raw and vulnerable.
The song explores the idea of temptation and the struggle to resist it. The characters are aware of the moral implications of their actions, yet they are drawn to each other in a way that feels almost inevitable. 'Ella sólo ansia un momento de resignación para no caer en la tentación' highlights this internal conflict, where the desire for a fleeting moment of peace battles against the pull of temptation. The recurring theme of time, with hours turning into seconds, underscores the intensity and fleeting nature of their encounters.
As the night progresses, the lyrics reveal a deeper layer of emotional complexity. The phrase 'Y es tan bueno lo que está tan mal, tan prohibido lo que te hace volar' captures the paradox of their situation—how something so wrong can feel so right. The song's chorus, 'Y así es normal no es la primera ni última vez,' suggests a cycle of repeated behavior, a pattern that neither can break free from. The metaphor of a 'bomba de tiempo que nunca va a explotar' symbolizes the constant tension and potential for disaster that looms over their relationship, yet it remains unfulfilled, adding to the sense of unresolved longing.
'Así Es Normal' is a poignant exploration of forbidden love, the allure of the forbidden, and the emotional turmoil that accompanies it. German's evocative lyrics and the haunting melody create a powerful narrative that resonates with anyone who has experienced the pull of a forbidden desire.
